Dartmouth’s chemistry department combines the personalized instruction and mentoring of a small college with the expertise of a research university. We welcome prospective undergraduate majors and Ph.D. candidates, as well as other students interested in chemistry, the central science.

To help with your decision about a choice of major, plase come for pizza, soft drinks and conversation with current chemistry majors and faculty about the delights of a chemistry major. Thursday, February 26th - 6:00-8:00pm - first floor of Burke Lab (outside of the Marx Lounge)

Dartmouth researchers have found a solution using visible light to reduce waste produced in chemically activated molecular switches, opening the way for industrial applications of nano-technology ranging from anti-cancer drug delivery to LCD displays and molecular motors.

Congratulations to research professors Tom Spencer and Dave Lemal on their recent 80th birthdays. They founded our synthetic organic chemistry graduate program, helped build it to prominence, and are still doing research.
